Buxton needs to stay in Rochester. I don't think he is mentally ready for major league baseball

No embarrassment for him to start in Rochester next Spring. In fact, he should play at least two months in Rochester before they even think about bringing him back up to the Twins Rochester and then only after he has shown a total transformation at the plate.

Reading that article he admitted in so many words he was not mentally ready to start in the majors this year. He needed more time in AAA and there is nothing wrong with that. The idea that you just throw him in the lineup and make him play everyday in the majors is bullshit. Before this season started he played only 13 games there and only 59 in AA. This was after missing most of the 2014 season. The Twins should have had more of a clue where his head was. I wouldn't have been against the Twins signing a veteran outfielder to a one-year deal, just to buy Buxton some time.

Remember that he was under the guidance of TR. That is all you need to know.

Credit to the manager to stay over .500

The Wings have only three position players that have been with team all year: James Beresford, Wilfredo Tovar & Adam Brett Walker.

The @RocRedWings don't have a single pitcher on the active staff that was with the team on Opening Day.

This year has featured the most player movement that I can remember since this board has been going.

The @CRKernels announce Miles Nordgren and Sean Miller promoted to Ft. Myers. Manuel Guzman and Sean Poppen to Cedar Rapids.
